Difference between Discourse Analysis and Critical Discourse Analysis?
Discourse analysis focuses only on linguistic forms of communication. On the other hand, critical discourse analysis goes further to examine what language can do in relation to context/situation, targeted participants and how language portrays power etc
Discourse analysis examines how language is used in various contexts(academic, political, educational) to make meaning.
Critical discourse analysis goes further to examine how languages reinforces power dynamic, social inequalities, and ideologies.
In short, it can be said that:
Phenomenological discourse analysis of discourse and its linguistic structure.
Critical textual analysis of the social and political function of discourse, and how a range of things are used in reality.
The other fundamental difference is in the depth and purpose of the analysis. While discourse analysis professionals understand how language works, a Portuguese coach understands how language is used by the world around us.
